refscale: Add a "jiffies" test

This commit adds a "jiffies" test to refscale, allowing use of jiffies
to be compared to ktime_get_real_fast_ns().  On my x86 laptop, jiffies
is more than 20x faster.  (Though for many uses, the tens-of-nanoseconds
overhead of ktime_get_real_fast_ns() will be just fine.)
